Abstract: A color image data compression coding apparatus of the
present invention includes a signal processing section (16) for
processing RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color image data input from
an imaging device to thereby output YC (luminance and
chrominance) image data consisting of luminance data and
chrominance data. When a monochrome mode is set by a system
controller (18), the signal processing section (16) fixes the values of
chrominance data to zero. The luminance data and fixed
chrominance data are written to a frame memory (22) and then
sequentially read out of the memory (22) in blocks component by
component. A compression coding section (24) codes the image
data read out of the memory (22) by use of a JPEG (Joint
Photographic Coding Expert Group) system. As for the coded data of
the chrominance data, Huffman codes are assigned only to DC
components and EOB (End of Block) codes. As a result, an amount of codes
produced by subtracting the amount of codes allocated to the
chrominance data from a desired total amount of code is entirely
allocated to the luminance data as a target amount of code. After
the luminance data have been coded in the target amount, the
chrominance data are sequentially coded. A method for
implementing the apparatus and a digital camera incorporating the
apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A refrigerator capable of controlling supply of cool air into a fresh food compartment
(5) and a vegetable chamber (10) is disclosed. A cool air duct (11) is formed at a rear
part of the fresh food compartment (5). The cool air duct (11) has discharge ports (16a)
for supplying the cool air into the fresh food compartment (5) and the vegetable
chamber (10). The discharge ports (16a) are opened and closed by an opening/closing
device (20; 30). The device (20; 30) opens/closes the discharge ports (16a) to the fresh
food compartment (5) and the vegetable chamber (10) simultaneously. Therefore, when
the supply of the cool air into the fresh food compartment (5) is stopped, the supply of
the cool air into the vegetable chamber (10) is stopped too, and thereby the overcooling
of the vegetable chamber (10) is prevented.

Abstract: A torque current component and an exciting
current component of primary AC currents which are
supplied to a stator of a three-phase induction motor are
commanded independently of each other in accordance with a
command rotational angular velocity and a rotational
angular velocity of the three-phase induction motor
rotating an agitator, and the rotational angular velocity
of the three-phase induction motor is controlled by
changing the magnitude and frequency of each of the
primary AC currents. Furthermore, a test operation is
carried out by giving the command angular velocity so as
to make constant the angular velocity of the motor, and
the laundry amount is estimated corresponding to an output
torque of the motor in the test operation.

Abstract: An L-seal patch bag (22) has an open top (30), a bottom seal (26), a seal along a first side edge (34), and a patch (24)
covering a seamless second side edge (32). The bag is preferably made by adhering, at intervals and across
a continuous flat film, a plurality of discrete film patches (24). Each of the patches covers a centerline
running the length of the elongate flat film. The resulting laminated article is then folded along its
length, preferably at the centerline, making a first seal by sealing the elongate flat film to itself by sealing
along a first (open, non-seamless) side edge of the elongate flat film. A second seal is then made by
sealing across an entirety of the folded, laminated article, which is thereafter cut across below the
second seal, whereby an L-seal patch bag is produced. Analogous processes can be used to produce a
side-seal patch bag or a backseamed patch bag. Still another process of making a side-seal patch bag
involves folding the elongate flat film transversely before sealing along the side edges and cutting the
resulting side-seal bag from the remainder ofthe elongate flat film.

Abstract: An emergency oxygen system that provides a flow of oxygen to the patient
undergoing anesthesia in the event of a detected fault in the overall supply and
mixing system of the anesthesia system. The normal design of such supply and
mixing systems for an anesthesia system provides oxygen and at least one other
gas that are mixed together in a desired proportion to be provided to a vaporizer
and then to the anesthesia system as fresh gas. In the present system, a
processor continuously monitors the output flows from those proportioning mixing
valves. When the processor determines that those flows from the proportioning
valves are off by a predetermined amount, indicative of a fault in the system, the
processor immediately shuts off the supply of any gases other than oxygen and
also provides a flow of oxygen to a bypass line that bypasses the oxygen
proportioning valve, thus assuring a supply of oxygen to the patient despite the
fault. A manual valve may be included in the bypass line so that the clinician can
control the flow of oxygen and a flowmeter is provided so the clinician can visually
note the flow and control that flow accordingly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une fibre optique guide d'ondes à dispersion modulée. La perte de puissance due au mélange à quatre ondes est maintenue à un faible niveau du fait que le guide d'ondes est fabriqué à partir de longueurs de fibre à dispersion non nulle. On fait alterner le signe de la dispersion totale des sous-longueurs, sur la longueur du guide d'ondes, ce qui permet la modulation de la dispersion totale du guide d'ondes de sorte qu'une valeur cible sélectionnée soit obtenue. On a découvert que l'on obtient les meilleurs résultats lorsque les guides d'ondes à dispersion nulle des sous-longueurs sont séparés par des grandes distances et de manière asymétrique. Il est avantageux de modifier le profil d'indice de réfraction central pour des sous-longueurs ayant une dispersion totale à signe différent.

Abstract: NRF is a novel inhibitory transcription factor binding to specific DNA sequences and silencing transcriptional activity of proximal DNA-binding activators, e.g. NF-KB binding sites. NRF is a modulator protein of NF-KB family members controlling genes of significant biomedical importance such as those encoding inflammatory cytokines, MHC proteins, cell adhesion molecules, and viruses. Based on this it represents a molecular target in the devolopment of novel anti-inflammatory therapies for a variety of pathologic disorders such as ischemia, hemorrhagic and septic shock, allograft rejection, bacterial meningitis, acute airway inflammation and the pulmonary complications induced by cardiopulmonary bypass. Furthermore, this might apply for certain cancers and other diseases.   NRF as a target for drugs (obtained e.g. by IITS) is protected. Agonists as well as antagonists of NRF are also protected. Further applications such as the use of NRF protein and its fusion proteins or NRF DNA sequence in sense or antisense orientation in gene therapy are also protected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A basic navigation operating part 56 implements basic
navigating function, such as current position and route computation
Meanwhile, an extended program for extended navigating operation,
typically used to present multimedia information, is described in
a general-purpose language such as Java. A virtual machine 58
interprets and executes this extended program. If a navigation
control code related to the basic navigating function is generated
during the execution of the extended program, the service module
64 translates it into a format interpretable by the basic navigation
operating part 56. Thus, several Java-compatible multimedia
facilities can be linked with the basic navigating function.
Navigation system platforms can execute a chain of basic and
extended navigating operations without being provided with a
platform-specific program for extended navigating operation.

Abstract: In the operation of spinning, drawing and winding a synthetic filament yarn, the spun filaments are eddied in an eddy jet within the drawing zone and before it leaves the drawing godet. The filament material passes a number of times round the drawing godet and a deflection roller, to be eddied at the final wound coil between the godet and the deflection roller. The filament material is heated by the godet mantle directly before it is eddied in the jet, where a hot air stream is aligned along or against the direction of travel. The filament material is also eddied before it enters the drawing zone. An Independent claim is included for a filament spinning assembly with an eddy jet (21) in front of the final drawing godet (19) in the drawing zone (2), in the direction of travel. Preferred Features: The final drawing godet has a deflection roller (20), forming a drawing godet unit (16), where the filament material (14) passes round them a number of times. The eddy jet is between the godet and deflection roller in the direction of travel, at the final coil winding before it leaves the godet . The mantle surface of the drawing godet has a roughness where the final coil winding lies which is less than at the remaining mantle surface. The godet mantle has a smaller diameter for the final filament coil winding that at the other godet mantle surface zones. The eddy jet has a filament channel to guide and eddy the filament material. An air channel opens into the filament channel, to form an included angle between the channels of ≤ 90 degrees in the direction of travel. The drawing godet has a heater to give a heated mantle. The drawing godet and deflection roller of the drawing godet unit have their own drives. An eddy jet can be in the filament path between the spinning station (1) and the drawing zone.
